libertytree | Google said it removed the content because “This video has been removed for violating YouTube’s Community Guidelines."
Paul said in response, which is no longer on YouTube, “YouTube said the video violated their policy because of my comments on masks, and that they don’t allow videos that contradict government’s guidance on COVID."
Sen. Paul expressed concern that Big Tech companies are behaving like the government during a press call on Tuesday.
“I’m not sure when YouTube became an arm of the government, and I’m not really sure it’s good for journalism to also be an arm of the government without any repercussions or push back, Paul said.
Paul said that private companies have the right to host content or not as they please, Big Tech's lack of interest in free speech is concerning.
“As a libertarian-leaning Senator, I think private companies have the right to ban me if they want to, but I think it is really anti-free speech, anti-progress of science, which involves skepticism and argumentation to arrive at the truth,” Paul said.
He continued, “We realize this in our court systems that both sides present facts on either side of a question and complete an adversarial process to reach the truth in each case.”
The senator said such decisions being made by Big Tech companies could also affect the quality of journalism.
“Journalism isn’t far from that and in some ways, the adversarial part of the courtroom is ideally what you would find in journalism, where both sides would present facts, there is a period of argumentation and people figure out the truth for themselves,” Paul explained.
Paul added, “YouTube and Google though, have become an entity so huge that they think they are the arbitrator of truth.”
theguardian |The Delta variant was
first identified in the United States in April and by May it was well
onto its exponential growth curve, doubling every 10-12 days, as the
basis for Covid infections, now reaching over 96% prevalence. Ironically,
on 1 May, the CDC announced it would stop monitoring post-vaccination
breakthrough infections unless they led to hospitalizations or deaths.
This decision can be seen as exceptionally ill-advised and has led to a
country flying blind in its attempt to confront its fourth wave of
infections – one that has rapidly led to well over 100,000 new cases per
day and more than 60,000 hospitalizations, both higher than the US
first and second pandemic waves. It is unfathomable that we do not know
how many of these are occurring in people who were vaccinated.
Without
tracking, we have no idea of the proportion of people fully vaccinated
who are getting ill, hospitalized, or dying. There is no question the
frequency of requiring hospitalization is increasing, as reflected by
data from some counties that are tracking breakthroughs on their own and
reporting that 10 to 20% of admissions are in vaccinated individuals.
But we have no denominator.
Why is this so
critically important? For one, the false sense of security transmitted
by CDC’s lack of data in the Delta wave likely fosters complacency and
lack of protective measures such as masks and distancing. The mission of
the CDC to prevent such illness, and the first step is to collect the
relevant data. It would be very simple to know the vaccination status of
every American with a breakthrough infection admitted to the hospital
with Covid-19, along with key demographics such as age, time from
vaccination, which vaccine, and co-existing medical conditions. The PCR
diagnostic test for each patient has an accompanying cycle threshold
(Ct) value, which is an indicator of viral load, and would be important
to track. Moreover, the sample of the virus could undergo genomic
sequencing to determine whether there has been further evolution of the
virus and blood samples for neutralizing antibody levels that could be
obtained in as many patients as possible. Contact tracing of these
individuals would help determine the true rate of transmission from
other vaccines, something that is pure conjecture. Such systematic
collection of data would be the foundation for understanding who is at
risk for breakthrough infections, determining the current level of
effectiveness of vaccines and whether, when, and in whom, booster shots
should be recommended. It is remarkable that none of this is getting
done for hospitalized patients, who represent an undetermined fraction
of the people who are getting quite ill, some requiring monoclonal
antibody infusions to pre-empt getting admitted.
This
is not by any means the first breakdown of the CDC in managing and
communicating about the pandemic. But with billions of dollars allocated
to CDC earlier this year for improved Covid-19 surveillance, this
represents a blatant failure that is putting millions of vaccinated
Americans at unnecessary risk for breakthrough infections and leaving us
without a navigational system for the US Delta wave.
HuffPost |As I write this now, I’m midway through my quarantine, still symptomatic and contagious. At first, I was worried that my condition would worsen, but it hasn’t been too bad so far, like a persistent summer cold.
The at-home kit recommended retesting after three days. I waited until Day 5 and tested positive again, which could be a detection of dead virus particles since, according to the CDC, COVID is rarely detectable via the test after six days.
Slowly, I’m feeling better, although the brain fog, the inability to latch onto a chain of thought long enough to get my day started or get some serious work done, has been the most worrisome.
So far, my other symptoms have included a general achiness and grogginess, head and chest congestion, headaches and, in the first few days, a lot of sneezing. And, just like when I was sick last summer, I haven’t lost my sense of smell or taste, which only reaffirms my belief that I previously had coronavirus.
Thanks to the vaccine, none of my symptoms have been severe, and they weren’t serious for any of my family members either. In fact, my brother, mother and cousin all seemed to make a full recovery within one to two weeks. But if the delta variant infected my whole family, it suggests that we still need to keep masking up in public, maintaining social distance and being cautious socially.
The federal government only keeps track of these breakthrough cases if they result in death or hospitalization. In fact, the CDC hasn’t been tracking mild breakthroughs since May. That means the number of breakthrough cases throughout the country, the truenumber of infected people, is likely much higher.
To think just three weeks ago I flew on an airplane, happily went out to restaurants and bars with my colleagues in Seattle, comfortable enough to sometimes unmask in public. But did I infect more people? Did I feed the deadly surge of this delta variant?
I feel guilty, but I also feel greatly misled. Our leaders told us vaccinated people could go out in public again without their masks. They told us we would be safe, that others would be safe. That turned out to be false.
None of this should be a surprise to me or to the experts. This is what viruses do: They spread, they evolve, they spread some more. And I’m not knocking the vaccines. Those who haven’t been vaccinated should do so immediately.
Even if you still catch COVID, as I did, it will likely mitigate the symptoms, and it may reduce the spread to others. I’m very grateful for the vaccine, grateful that it protected my family from the worst that COVID can bring.
Yet, if we’re looking at the current infection rates across the country ― which are as bad as they were during this year’s fatal winter surge or in some caseseven worse ― then we as a nation need to recognize that just saying “get vaccinated” isn’t going to make the current COVID spike go away tomorrow.
Tens of millions of inoculations will take weeks to administer and weeks more to take effect. The delta variant is here, and allowing it to spread nearly unabated could create new, potentially more virulent versions of the virus, which (lest we forget) is how this highly contagious variant came to be in the first place.
ecosophia |Stage Seven: Don’t Breathe A Word Of This
There
was another reason for people to be suspicious, though that wasn’t
clear at first. Everyone who’s had to use Microsoft programs knows that
Bill Gates’ management style tends to produce second-rate, bug-ridden
products that don’t work the way they’re supposed to work, and have to
be pushed on reluctant consumers via high-pressure marketing and
monopolistic practices. It turns out that the same was true of the
biotechnology on which the Covid-19 vaccines are based. That would have
been discovered in the usual way during the two to five years of testing
a new vaccine normally gets, but the Covid vaccines didn’t get that;
the first one to be authorized had a total of eight weeks of not
especially rigorous testing, the others didn’t get much more, and so a
far from minor problem slipped past. In the spring of 2021 word thus
began to trickle out that the Covid-19 vaccines had a serious problem
with ADE: once the initial protection wore off, a process which took a
few months, people who’d been vaccinated were much more likely to get
seriously ill from repeat exposure to Covid-19 than people who hadn’t.
Thus the federal government and the medical industry suddenly had a
self-inflicted disaster on their hands.
Stage Eight: Panic In The C-Suites
The
first response of the people in power, of course, was to find somebody
else to take the blame. That’s when politicians and the media turned on a
dime (again) and suddenly started admitting that the virus could have
come from the Wuhan Institute of Virology. That’s when Bill Gates
suddenly stopped being the poster child for the vaccine effort and got
dumped in a hurry by his wife and kids, and when Anthony Fauci suddenly
had to deal with a flurry of negative publicity and the unexplained
cancellation of his ghostwritten memoirs. The goal was to find
someone—Gates, Fauci, the Chinese, anyone—who could be made into the
fall guy and blamed for the impending mess. Apparently that first round
of bad news was followed by even worse news, however; I suspect that the
news was that the ADE caused by the vaccine had a noticeable fatality
rate, but that’s just a guess. One way or another, finding fall guys
wasn’t an adequate dodge any more, since at this stage it wasn’t just
careers that were at risk: it was potentially the viability of the
entire political-economic establishment.
Stage Nine: Things Get Serious
All
of a sudden, as a result, it was no longer enough to vaccinate 70% of
the US population. Everyone without exception had to get vaccinated—if
everyone gets the vaccine, after all, it will be easier to claim that
what’s happening is a nasty new variant rather than vaccine-driven ADE,
since nobody will be able to point out that the unvaccinated aren’t
getting it. All of a sudden, officials dropped the (inaccurate) claim
that the vaccines keep you from getting Covid-19. New outbreaks flared
in which most people who got sick had been fully vaccinated; stories
surfaced in the media about how strange it was that so many people were
getting really nasty summer colds; the labor shortage somehow just kept
getting worse and other shortages snowballed, but if you suggested that
it was because too many people were sick you could count on being
shouted down. Authorities began to talk earnestly about how a new
variant might show up soon that would kill a third of the people who
caught it. Under normal circumstances, there’s no way they could know
that in advance. It makes perfect sense, however, if the vaccines have
been found to cause serious ADE and they already have a good idea of
what the fatality rate will be.
This is where we are as I write this. If my hypothesis is right, here’s what we can expect.
Stage Ten: Hoping for a Miracle
As
ADE becomes more common, breakthrough infection clusters will pop up
with increasing frequency, and the higher the percentage of the
population in that region is vaccinated, the worse they will be.
Variants will be blamed for this. Word of the imminent crisis will
spread through the upper levels of society, however, causing
increasingly frantic and irrational behavior, until it becomes next to
impossible to get anything done if it depends on the government or big
corporations. Medical laboratories will scramble to find a way to
counteract ADE, though that’s been tried for decades now without
success. Meanwhile the people who refuse to get vaccinated won’t budge
no matter how much furious rhetoric and punitive policy gets dumped on
them. Once this becomes clear, authorities will insist that everyone but
a few holdouts has been vaccinated, in the fond hope that people will
believe them one more time.
Stage Eleven: Into The Endgame
When
ADE becomes too widespread to ignore and people begin to die in
significant numbers, expect governments to proclaim the arrival of the
predicted new hyper-lethal variant and impose a new round of shutdowns,
mask mandates, and the like. The media will insist that the people who
are dying are all unvaccinated as long as they can get away with it; pay
attention to the vaccination status and health outcomes of people you
know for a reality check. Unless some way of stopping ADE-enhanced
infections can be found in a hurry, medical systems will buckle under
the caseload and triage will become the order of the day. How soon this
will happen, if it does, is impossible to say in advance. It’s also
impossible to know in advance how soon it will become clear that the
vaccines are responsible—or just how violent a backlash against the
political and economic establishment this could provoke.
NYMag |But
holding all else equal, if vaccines were still doing a good job
preventing severe disease but a considerably worse job preventing
spread, wouldn’t that drive the gap wider between cases and
hospitalizations, or cases and deaths? Yeah. But —
It’s a lot to hold equal. What
I’m hearing — and I’ve been helping with a bunch of patients — is that
people who are breaking through are getting very sick. They’re getting
Regeneron antibodies.
There
may be something to this waning immunity story. It’s fuzzy, but the
people who are getting hit are more apt to be people who were vaccinated
very early. I had a patient in recent days, who’s in her 70s. She got
vaccinated in January. And, I mean, she almost died. I mean, it’s just
terrible. I think — I hope — the monoclonals are going to save her life.
But she was a healthy 70-year-old lady, andjust
following her case was illuminating — she thought she was protected, but
she also wore masks everywhere. She was on guard and still got infected
and desperately ill.
Most people aren’t being that careful. The
vaccinated — who are now a very slight majority — those people just
think the pandemic’s over. There’s still this sense that if you’re
vaccinated, you’re good to go. I mean, I’ve even seen on television, you
know, some of our leading health experts, tell people it’s perfectly
okay to have indoor gatherings among vaccinated people. Well, it’s not
true. So we’re getting bad advice.
This
booster thing is yet another issue, because we don’t even know if
they’re going to protect against a Delta. I mean, everybody’s assuming
it, but there’s no data. You know, there’s some neutralizing antibodies
from the Pfizer report in 23 people and there’s an Israeli pre-print, it
says there’s waning immunity without any neutralizing antibodies. So
we’ll see. But these are just classic spike-protein boosters. There’s
nothing special about them to handle Delta. So I don’t know. I mean, I
suspect they’re going to provide some protection, but I’m not sure I’m
so confident it’s going to be great.
What
about just the basic heterogeneity of the country? We’re so big, with
so many pockets of vulnerable people, even in states that are, from a
bird’s-eye view, well-protected. Could it be that what we’re seeing now
is just the disease burning through those populations very efficiently
and producing numbers that look large even in the national context? I
think that’s true. I think heterogeneity is definitely playing a role,
but I also think the behavior is playing a substantial role. I mean, why
did Florida succumb? As you know, it’s basically at the national
average for vaccination, one percentage point below. But it’s been a
disaster there, and they have promotion from the leadership of the state
to do everything wrong. I mean, you know, they’ve mandated no masking.
But that should provide some hope, in the sense that other states will take a different course, presumably. I don’t know.
Personally,
I put a lot of stock into the fact that, even in states where the
vaccination levels weren’t so high overall, that seniors seemed pretty
well-vaccinated — I think when we last spoke, a couple of weeks ago, in
the worst-vaccinated state, Mississippi, 76 percent of seniors had
gotten at least one shot. That’s not 99 percent but I would’ve thought
it would’ve shielded a lot. I think for Alpha it would have been beautiful. But for Delta it’s just not nearly enough.
I
mean, one of the worst signals that I’ve seen is San Francisco. San
Francisco is like Vermont, they’re even a little higher than Vermont for
fully vaccinated — it’s 70 percent of the population of San Francisco
county and it’s going through a very substantial hospitalization spike,
unlike Vermont.
And that’s a bad sign because San Francisco has been kind of a rock throughout the whole pandemic.
They’ve been incredible. Even when the rest of California was doing poorly. Yeah.
Exactly. So I look at San Francisco as a bad bellwether for what might
be coming. Why are they doing so poorly right now for hospitalization?
Why is it so different than Vermont? If there’s that many people getting
so sick, something’s just not right. But it’s hard to explain all these
things, right? I mean, why, why did the U.K. on Freedom Day —
VE has always been measured retrospectively — after the fact. Thus accurate or mostly accurate or at least somewhat accurate picture of a vaccine's effectiveness can be gleaned — based on historical data.
And NOT based on Estimates.
Some may notice that “fact checkers” that “debunk” the growing and obvious simple fact that moderna and pfizer may end up having VE = 0 — all rely on CDC “estimates” — even as what they are trying to smear and claim as “false” — was based on an MDs and/or scientists quoting from actual data — and checked by those actually skilled in the science of data.
The narrative fact checkers use estimates to smear actual scientific knowledge — results gleaned from actual, concrete research and data. So what happens, now that our zig zagging, hysterical CDC director Rochelle Walesnky has just confirmed that mRNA neovaccinoid effectiveness equals zero?
Walensky told CNN the covid shots, having failed to prevent the disease among those inoculated also cannot prevent transmission of the disease among those inoculated.
mRNA neovaccinoid effectiveness=zero...,
She prefaced this astonishing acknowledgment of the drugs’ failure with an even more astonishing fabrication: “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well!”
The CDC Director: “Our vaccines are working exceptionally well! They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death, they prevent it. But what they can’t do anymore is prevent transmission.”
“They continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death” she said — but what does the data say?
Don’t expect CDC director to level with the American people on this essential matter.
Expect more tears and flapdoodle from her; it’s how she runs.
To date, I am able to locate CDC published information that says Delta is highly transmissible; and unable to locate CDC information demonstrating this variant causes “severe illness and death” — the CDC’s most recent information from an Aug. 6 published study is equivocal:
“Finally, differences in vaccination coverage in some of these populations might be an additional confounding factor when estimating crude VE at the county and state levels. VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant.”
Obvious question: how does “VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant”
Square with: the covid shots “continue to work well for Delta with regard to severe illness and death”.
Walensky made this claim on national TV — fully aware her own agency’s most recent information is actually claiming that “VE studies with more rigorous methods and the power to estimate protection against severe outcomes are needed to better understand the potential impact of the Delta variant.”
Another paper says the Delta “B.1.617.2 variant is highly transmissible in indoor sports settings and households, which might lead to increased attack rates.”
This paper, last updated July 16, also says, in conclusion: ” Finally, vaccine effectiveness could not be calculated because of an inability to interview all persons associated with the outbreak and incomplete state immunization registry data.”
To sum up. VE is supposed to be determined after the fact.
off-guardian | In New York City, California, Australia, etc., the people have
permitted government such control over our daily lives that we have to
ask it for permission to control our bodies, to move freely, to practice
religion, to educate our children ourselves, to protest, etc.
Soon Biden, Trudeau, and other world leaders are going to clamp down
on our ability to express ourselves and to associate with each other
online so that we can no longer question, object to, or organize against
government action. It is the destruction of democracy.
It astounds me that my Progressive friends — the same ones who claim
to support “social justice” — are welcoming a fascist society in which
government crushes any opposition and individuals cannot make choices
about their own lives.
I will not comply because I do not want to live in the society that
is being created by extraordinary submissiveness to government. I do not
want to be complicit in this era’s atrocities.
What is the point of living if one merely exists to obey the elite to
one’s own detriment? Is it even living if one lacks the agency to
direct one’s life? I’ve already submitted in contradiction of my values
to a shameful extent. One might say, “Well, what’s one more compromise,” but it won’t be just one more compromise. It will be just the next cut in a slow death by a thousand cuts.
Submitting only validates tyrannical displays of power and ensures that there will be more such displays in the future.
And what does one get for compromising? Merely your continued
membership in a society that will only have you if you immolate yourself
and become nothing more than a reflection of the desires of the ruling
class.
If you cannot be truly yourself in a society, is that society worth
clinging to? I think not. As much as leaving the stability of my comfort
zone terrifies me, staying in it means continuing to silence and shrink
myself for a disingenuous feeling of acceptance. In that way, it is
more of a discomfort zone.
Each time I expressed my fears about the future direction of society,
my friends said “it won’t happen.” Each time it did happen, they
shrugged their shoulders and reminded me that compliance was an option.
At this point, if the government were to cart me away to an internment camp (which is not a completely far-fetched notion and which has happened in the past)
for being a dangerous dissident I am certain that my friends and family
would watch it happen and say it was my fault for not complying.
They are no longer capable of recognizing the humanity of the opposition or of questioning government.
NYTimes | Many vaccinated Americans are tired, disgusted and eager to assign blame. Public health experts and government officials, including some Republicans,
have shifted from sensitive prodding to firm condemnation of those
forgoing vaccination. Private conversations among the inoculated take an
even less diplomatic turn: “We were so close, and these stupid,
unvaccinated jerks ruined it for the rest of us.”
Fatigue
and outrage are appropriate emotions, considering all that has been
lost to Covid-19: lives, jobs, experiences, money, physical and mental
health. But those feelings, if not properly channeled, can themselves
take a heavy toll. What do we do with our anger?
I am a progressive woman who resides in a conservative state. I am on record
in this fractured political era as a proponent of maintaining
connection across gulfs of understanding, with the caveat that this
civic burden falls to people whose social privileges allow them to
engage safely with “the other side.” But seeking to understand dangerous
behaviors and beliefs is quite different than permitting them. I
myself, by many accounts an amiable person, once yelled at a truck stop
full of unmasked people to read the sign on the goddamn door.
Fury
— collective, generational, political, cultural, individual — is
utterly familiar to me, more so than the happy serenity of my current
life. I was a child in poverty during the 1980s “farm crisis,”
when federal policies favoring big corporations devastated rural
communities. Everywhere I turned, something was dying: the local grocery
store, the family farm, the cancer victims whose water supply contained
agricultural runoff. There was joy in my family, but there was also
addiction, abuse and neglect that drew from a deep well of justifiable
rage and sorrow.
Anger is a contagious
energy that jumps quickly from one person to the next. It will seize
your mind and body as its host. If allowed to explode, it will hurt
others. If allowed to implode, it will hurt you. I had to learn early
how to transmute it for the sake of my own survival. I found that it can
be the source of a powerful alchemy. If we are up to the task, it could
help us create something good together.
Our national conversation has reached the
point where many Americans are done with any and all excuses offered by
the unvaccinated. Some of the inoculated are not just self-righteous
but downright venomous, arguing on social media that hospitals should
refuse to admit unvaccinated Covid-19 patients, calling them trash and
wishing them a painful death. Residents of blue America have pronounced
this a red-America problem. “Our state did a great job fighting the
pandemic,” one person tweeted. “Our reward? The mouth-breathing
knuckle-draggers in adjacent red states flooded their hospitals and
spilled over into ours.”
Old political
resentments have found a new outlet in the fraught vaccine debate.
“I’ve been pissed off since Reagan was elected,” another Twitter user
quipped in a thread parsing the emotions of the vaccinated. Exhausted,
despairing minds find comfort in turning complex realities into simple,
opposing categories. The noble, upstanding vaccinated American and the
selfish, stupid, unvaccinated one. The good liberal citizen and the
far-right anti-vaxxer.
technofog | While they say this is about health, it is clear that it is also political.
The press revels in condemning
conservatives for not getting the vaccine. Self-loathing conservatives
like David French say Evangelical vaccine hesitancy is a “spiritual problem.”
Conservative governors – those with low COVID death rates in their
states – are attacked for not doing enough to encourage vaccination.
Paul Krugman takes these arguments to the next level, arguing
that conservatives seeking personal autonomy are really trying to
preserve their white male Christian “privilege” while making minorities
pay the price.
The government – including officials like Dr. Fauci and Dr. Francis
Collins – must be happy with the blame-shifting. Just imagine their
delight, after having potentially contributed to the creation of COVID-19, that the unvaccinated are now the accused.
Never one to miss a media appearance, Dr. Fauci is out there
saying the unvaccinated are “propagating” the latest outbreak, that we
need to “do something to get them to be vaccinated.” This duty that Dr.
Fauci advances is the purported obligation to do something to protect
others. (One has to ask whether millions of lives would have been saved
had they followed this same duty with taxpayer dollars at Wuhan.)
We
believe this is just the start. If persuasion has reached its limit
(and there is evidence it has), then please, trust them at their word
when they advocate restricting your rights and inflicting punishment if you remain unvaccinated.
“The crowd tends toward persecution since the natural causes of what troubles it and transforms it into a turba cannot
interest it. The crowd by definition seeks action but cannot affect
natural causes. It therefore looks for an accessible cause that will
appease its appetite for violence. Those who make up the crowd
are always potential persecutors, for they dream of purging the
community of the impure elements that corrupt it, the traitors who
undermine it.”
larrysanger | It is an objective, indisputable fact: never in
the history of the world has there been a global push to administer an
experimental medicine to all of humanity, billions of us, at the same
time.
I want you to stop and reflect on that. Imagine the hubris it
required both to carry out this plan and to propagandize the world to
carry it out.
“Hubris?” you ask. “What do you mean?”
The Covid vaccines are experimental. The FDA has not approved them.
Most vaccines require years to test and approve, in no small part
because we want to make sure they don’t have dangerous long-term side
effects, which they can have; the CDC has published a list of problems with selected approved vaccines. Many experimental vaccines never make it out of the experimental phase. CNN made similar points
back when Trump was, wrongheadedly (I thought so at the time) pushing
for rapid approval of the Covid vaccines. Of course, the mercurial news
organization hastened to forget all that when the Biden administration
decided rapid vaccine deployment was a good idea. They shouldn’t have:
for all the good they certainly have done, physicians warn us that
vaccines can be dangerous for some, and experimental vaccines are, naturally, even more so.
Again, my point is simple and absolutely factual. Again:
You have to be willing to trust the welfare of billions of people
not just to the honesty of our leaders and scientists—because things
can go wrong for decent people. You must also trust their competence—and
not just that, because competent people can make surprising,
unforeseeable mistakes. You must also trust that we avoided the worst,
that we dodged a bullet, and that they actually succeeded in making a more or less safe vaccine.
In a
self-organizing economy, things can work together in a way that looks
like a conspiracy. When there are not enough resources to go around, the
world seems to turn into two warring factions. We are seeing this right
now. I think you are seeing a
tip of the true world situation. Looked at through one lens, the world
looks like we will have a happy ever after situation, forever. Looked at
through another lense, we look like we are on the edge of disaster. I
am afraid the “edge of disaster” folks are
correct. The “happily ever after” situation is the one favored by Main
Street Media. Anyone who spends a lot of time reading Main Street Media
will think that the opposite side is crazy conspiracy theorists.
I think we are running short of fossil fuels. Shut downs help the
economy get along with less fossil fuel, especially oil. A local leader,
when he or she makes a decision to shut down the economy, takes into
account all of the considerations. Do local
factories need to shut down, for lack of parts or for lack of orders? Is
it becoming impossible to import enough oil for all needs? Are local
people protesting about inadequate pensions and living conditions? A
shutdown could help all of these problems at once.
The problem is inadequate resources to go around. Inadequate
resources, though the laws of physics, lead to ever more wage and wealth
disparity. When this happens, epidemics more easily take hold. The poor
especially are vulnerable, because they tend
to not eat well. This time, a group of influential individuals and the
pharmaceutical industry decided to help the situation along in a way
that would benefit themselves at the same time it reduces population.
Some people might like this approach, but I find
it objectionable.
Obviously governments know what they are doing …. they are aware of what happens when leaky vaccines are used during a pandemic… So why?

the nuclear option without some sort of cover, the sheeple and the
markets would be thrown into a panic and you risk blowing things up
prematurely. So you need a reason for putting the global
economy on ice — one that does not spook the masses – one that is big
enough to justify such epic amounts of stimulus and extreme policies —
and one that allows you to explain ‘this is just temporary – once this
is gone — we will get back to normal’
A pandemic is the perfect cover.
End Game – Covid was foisted on us as cover for the response to
peak oil (if we don’t slow the burn oil prices go through the roof and
we collapse) but it is also being used to convince billions to be
Injected. The Injection is meant to cause extremely
deadly variants like this .. only worse because we are deploying into a
pandemic so everyone dies https://www.pbs.org/newshour/science/tthis-chicken-vaccine-makes-virus-dangerous.
The reason for this is that 8B people need cheap oil to live. They
would starve without it. And 8B people without food would result in epic
starvation, violence, rape and cannibalism. Industrial civilization
ends soon after peak oil. Unfortunately we also
have 4000 spent fuel ponds that will boil off and release toxic
substances for centuries. These facilities cannot be controlled with
computers and energy. So even the subsistence level humans die as they
consume these toxins in the food, air and water.
ourfiniteworld |[9] The public has been led to believe that vaccines are the
only solution to COVID-19 when, in fact, they are at best a very poor
and temporary band-aid.
Vaccines are a tempting solution because the benefits have been
oversold and no one has explained how poorly today’s leaky vaccines
really work.
We are already past the period when these vaccines were well matched
with the viruses they were aimed at. Now we are in a situation in which
the viruses are constantly mutating, and the vaccines need to be
updated. The catch is that the variants stick around for such a short
time period that by the time the vaccine is updated, there is likely to
be yet another new variant that the new vaccine does not really match up
with well.
Requirements that employees be vaccinated against COVID-19 cannot be
expected to provide much benefit to employers because workers will still
be out sick with COVID-19. This happens because they are likely to
catch a variant such as Delta, which does not line up with the original
vaccine. Perhaps they will be out for a shorter period, and their
hospital bills will be lower. These types of benefits are what people
have expected of influenza vaccines. There is no reason for them to
expect more of the new COVID-19 vaccines.
Even with 100% vaccination herd immunity can never be reached because
the vaccine encourages the virus to mutate into more virulent forms.
Each new variant stays around for only a few months, making it hard for
vaccine makers to keep up with the changing nature of the problem.
Vaccine makers can expect to face a constant battle in having to run to
stay even. Someone will have to convince citizens that each new vaccine
makes sense, even though injuries reported
to the US Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System seem to be much more
frequent than those reported for vaccines for other diseases.
An erroneous, one-sided story is being told to the general public, in
part because the pharmaceutical lobby is incredibly powerful. It has
the support of influential people, such as Anthony Fauci and Bill Gates.
The pharmaceutical industry can make billions of dollars in income from
the sale of vaccines, with little in the way of sales expenses. The
industry has managed to convince people that it is OK to sell these
vaccines, even though injury rates are very high compared to those for
vaccines in general.
Vaccines are being pushed in large part because the pharmaceutical
industry needs a money maker. It also wants to be seen as having
cutting-edge technology, so young people will be attracted to the field.
It cannot admit to anyone that technologies from decades ago would
perhaps work better to solve the COVID-19 problem.
[10] The pharmaceutical industry has been telling the world
that inexpensive drugs can’t fix our problem. However, there are several
low-cost drugs that appear helpful.
One drug that is being overlooked is ivermectin,
which was discovered in the late 1970s. It was originally introduced as
a veterinary drug to cure parasitic infections in animals. In the U.
S., ivermectin has been used since 1987 for eliminating parasites such
as ringworm in humans. Ivermectin seems to cure COVID-19
in humans, but it needs a higher dosage than has been previously
approved. Also, it would not be a money maker for the pharmaceutical
industry.
The possible use of ivermectin to cure COVID-19 seems to have been intentionally hidden. At approximately 32:45 in this linked video,
Dr. David Martin explains how Moderna announced ivermectin’s utility in
treating SARS (which is closely related to SARS-CoV-2) in its 2016-2018
patent modification related to the SARS virus. It sounds as though
Moderna (and others) have participated both in developing harmful
viruses and in developing vaccines to cure very closely related viruses.
They then work to prevent the sale of cheap drugs that might reduce
their sales of vaccines. This seems unconscionable.
Vitamin D, in high enough doses, taken well before exposure to the
virus that causes COVID-19, seems to lead to reduced severity of the
disease, and may eliminate some cases completely.
Various steroid drugs are often used in the later stages of
COVID-19, when conditions warrant it. The medical community seems to
have no difficulty with these.
Monoclonal antibodies are also used in the treatment of COVID-19, but they are much more expensive.
[11] Conclusion. Governments, businesses, and citizens need
to understand that today’s vaccines are not really solutions to our
COVID-19 problem. At the same time, they need better solutions.
Current vaccines have been badly oversold. They can be expected to
make the mutation problem worse, and they don’t stop the spread of
variants. Instead, we need to start quickly to make ivermectin and other
inexpensive drugs available through healthcare systems. People do need
some sort of solution to the problem of COVID-19 illnesses; it just
turns out that the current vaccines work so poorly that they probably
should not be part of the solution.
The whole idea of vaccine passports is absurd. Even with the vaccine,
people will catch the new COVID-19 variants, and they will pass them on
to others. Perhaps they may get lighter symptoms, so that they will be
off work for a shorter length of time, but there still will be
disruption. If those who catch COVID-19 can instead take ivermectin at a
high enough dose at the first sign of illness, many (or most) of them
can get well in a few days and avoid hospitalization completely. Other
medications may be helpful as well.
I am skeptical that masks can do any good with the high level of
transmission of Delta. But at least masks aren’t very harmful. We
probably need to go along with what is requested by officials.
It is becoming clear that today’s pharmaceutical industry is far too
powerful. Investigations need to be made into the large number of
allegations against it and its leaders. Why did members of the
pharmaceutical industry find it necessary to patent viruses, and then
later sell vaccines for a virus closely related to the viruses it had
patented?
ourfiniteworld |[4] More doubts are being raised about quickly finding a vaccine that prevents COVID-19.
The public would like to think that a vaccine solution is right
around the corner. Vaccine promoters such as Anthony Fauci and Bill
Gates would like to encourage this belief. Unfortunately, there are
quite a few obstacles to getting a vaccine that actually works for any
length of time:
(a) Antibodies for coronaviruses tend not to stay around for very
long. A recent study suggests that even as soon as eight weeks, a
significant share of COVID-19 patients (40% of those without symptoms; 12.9% of those with symptoms) had lost all immunity. A vaccine will likely face this same challenge.
(b) Vaccines may not work against mutations. Beijing is now fighting a new version
of COVID-19 that seems to have been imported from Europe in food. Early
indications are that people who caught the original Wuhan version of
the COVID-19 virus will not be immune to the mutated version imported
from Europe.
Vaccines that are currently under development use the Wuhan version
of the virus. The catch is that the version of COVID-19 now circulating
in the United States, Europe and perhaps elsewhere is mostly not the Wuhan type.
(c) There is a real concern that a vaccine against one version of
COVID-19 will make a person’s response to a mutation of COVID-19 worse,
rather than better. It has been known for many years that Dengue Fever
has this characteristic; it is one of the reasons that there is no
vaccine for Dengue Fever. The earlier SARS virus (which is closely
related to the COVID-19 virus) has this same issue. Preliminary analysis suggests that the virus causing COVID-19 seems to have this characteristic, as well.
In sum, getting a vaccine that actually works against COVID-19 is
likely to be a huge challenge. Instead of expecting a silver bullet in
the form of a COVID-19 vaccine, we probably need to be looking for a lot
of silver bee-bees that will hold down the impact of the illness.
Hopefully, COVID-19 will someday disappear on its own, but we have no
assurance of this outcome.
[5] The basic underlying issue that the world economy faces is overshoot, caused by too high a population relative to underlying resources.
When an economy is in overshoot, the big danger is collapse. The
characteristics of overshoot leading to collapse include the following:
Very great wage disparity; too many people are very poor
Declining health, often due to poor nutrition, making people vulnerable to epidemics
Increasing use of debt, to make up for inadequate wages and profits
Falling commodity prices because too few people can afford these commodities and goods made from these commodities
Gluts of commodities, causing farmers to plow under crops and oil to be put into storage
Thus, pandemics are very much to be expected when an economy is in overshoot.
One example of collapse is that following the Black Death (1348-1350) epidemic in Europe. The collapse killed 60% of Europe’s population and dropped Britain’s population from close to 5 million to about 2 million.
wcvb | Boston's mayor said she wants to encourage people to get vaccinated
against COVID-19 but compared the idea of requiring vaccine passports to
several unsavory parts of American history.
NewsCenter 5's Sharman Sacchetti posed the question to Mayor Kim Janey Tuesday, after New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced that proof of COVID-19 vaccination will soon be required for entering restaurants, gyms and indoor venues.
The new requirement, which will be phased in over several weeks in
August and September, is the most aggressive step New York has taken yet
to curb a surge in cases caused by the delta variant. People will have
to show proof that they have had at least one dose of a vaccine.
"The
goal here is to convince everyone that this is the time," de Blasio
said. "If we’re going to stop the delta variant, the time is now. And
that means getting vaccinated right now."
When Janey was asked for
her opinion on the idea, she expressed that her administration wants to
encourage vaccination but did not explicitly say whether she would
consider implementing a similar policy.
"We want to make sure
that we are giving every opportunity for folks to get vaccinated. When
it comes to what businesses may choose to do, we know that those types
of things are difficult to enforce when it comes to vaccine," Janey
said.
She went on to compare vaccine passports or credentials to
documentation requirements during slavery and the Jim Crow era. Janey
also drew a comparison to the so-called birtherism conspiracy theory.
"There's
a long history in this country of people needing to show their papers,"
said Janey. "During slavery, post-slavery, as recent as you know what
immigrant population has to go through here. We heard Trump with the
birth certificate nonsense. Here we want to make sure that we are not
doing anything that would further create a barrier for residents of
Boston or disproportionally impact BIPOC (Black, Indigenous and people
of color) communities."
She continued, "Instead, you want to
lean in heavily with partnering with community organizations, making
sure that everyone has access to the lifesaving vaccine. As it relates
to people who want to encourage their workforce to get vaccinated. We
certainly support that."
Janey became the first Black and first
woman to serve as mayor of Boston after Marty Walsh left to become U.S.
Secretary of Labor. She is currently running for a full term.
The mayor's remarks drew the scorn of other candidates.
They can’t arrest
us all. They can’t keep all your kids home from school. They can’t keep
every government building closed – although I’ve got a long list of ones
they should.
We don’t have to accept the mandates, lockdowns, and
harmful policies of the petty tyrants and feckless bureaucrats. We can
simply say no, not again.
Speaker
Nancy Pelosi — you will not arrest or stop me or anyone on my staff
from doing our jobs. We have all either had COVID, had the vaccine, or
been offered the vaccine. We will make our own health choices. We will
not show you a passport, we will not wear a mask, we will not be forced
into random screening and testing so you can continue your drunk with
power rein over the Capitol.
President
Biden — we will not accept your agencies’ mandates or your reported
moves toward a lockdown. No one should follow the CDC’s anti-science
mask mandates. And if you want to shutdown federal agencies again — some
of which aren’t even back to work fully — I will stop every bill coming
through the Senate with an amendment to cut their funding if they don’t
come to work.
No more.
Local bureaucrats and union bosses — we will not allow you to do more
harm to our children again this year. Children are not at any more risk
from COVID than they are for the seasonal flu. Every adult who works in
schools has either had the vaccine or had their chance to. There is no
reason for mask mandates, part time schools, or any lockdown measures.
Children
are falling behind in school, and are being harmed physically and
psychologically by the tactics you have used to keep them from the
classroom last year. We won’t allow it again.
NYTimes | In late spring,
the 142 nursing homes operated by the Good Samaritan Society hit a
milestone that was unthinkable just four months earlier: Zero cases of
Covid-19 across the whole company, from 900 at the peak of the pandemic.
The relief was short-lived.
The
case count has ticked up again: It’s still below 100 among residents
and staff, the company said, but includes many breakthrough cases of
vaccinated residents testing positive. Then last week, two vaccinated
residents died with Covid at the Good Samaritan Society-Deuel County
nursing home in Clear Lake, South Dakota.
The
company said it had pinpointed the cause of the spread there and at
other of its facilities: The breakthroughs had happened in the same
homes where unvaccinated staff were testing positive, seemingly carrying
the virus into the home from the community.
“We
fought this virus, and we were winning with the vaccine,” said Randy
Bury, chief executive of the Good Samaritan Society, a nonprofit chain
that operates in 24 states.
Late last month,
the company became one of the largest long-term care chains in the
country to order mandatory vaccines for staff, highlighting turmoil
within an industry desperate to avoid a repeat of the devastation that
swept through this highly vulnerable population.
After
sharp drops in infections over the last several months, the number of
Covid cases among U.S. nursing-home residents and staff roughly tripled
from the week of July 4 to the week ending July 25, according to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency’s data show that cases of Covid among residents had risen to 1,312, the highest figure reported since early March.
About 133,000 nursing home residents died of Covid
over the course of the pandemic, although the death rate has plummeted
in recent months with more than 80 percent of residents now vaccinated.
Overall, Covid deaths among nursing home residents and staff members
accounted for nearly one-third of the nation’s pandemic fatalities.
Growing
calls for vaccine mandates among health care workers have gained
urgency but also met resistance in the nursing home industry, where some
homes say it will cost them staff members in an industry already
plagued with high turnover. Only about 60 percent of nursing home staff
members are vaccinated, and some states report an even lower rate, with
less than half inoculated, according to the most recent government data.
TAE | For some obscure reason we have accepted the idea that we can do no
risk stratification, that everyone is at equal risk, and therefore
everyone should undergo the same treatment. And then we find out that
this treatment doesn’t work, or only half, or only for a few months,
etc. But you can be sure insurance companies are still doing risk
stratification, also for Covid, it’s how they make a profit.
We find the vaccine is not a vaccine, but a therapeutic. An untested
one at that. While we could have focused on prevention, either for
everyone or just for the vulnerable, and early treatment for early
victims. As 80% of people were never at risk at all and 80% have already
been infected and survived.
There are plenty ways to do prevention and we have discarded them
all, in favor for a treatment that now turns against us. That is to say,
the vaccine makes the virus more, not less, dangerous. It’s not the
unvaccinated that are the pool the virus mutates in, it’s the
vaccinated.
And it’s not only the mutations. All Covid therapeutics used in the
west induce the vaccinees’ body to produce spike proteins, which are
toxic to the body. Initially, it was claimed that they would stay near
the site of injection, but we soon found that they spread through the
entire body, and assemble especially in the most vulnerable spots:
lungs, testes, placenta etc.
And that’s not all either: we now see suspicions that the spike
proteins remain active in the body, and continue to be produced inside
the body, for much longer than we were told they would be. An as yet
unpublished report will claim that they have been found five months
after injection, instead of mere days. The potential consequences would
be much more disastrous than the virus.
And wouldn’t you know, the moment we find out from the CDC itself
that the vaccines don’t work, that same CDC clamors for more
vaccinations, and all the usual suspects in the media and politics and
“expertise” chime in. Everyone vaccinated now or we’ll take your jobs
away, and all of your fun. Children, no matter how young, must be
jabbed, even pregnant women. This therapeutic we never really tested is
perfectly safe for your unborn child!
Without a jab, you’re a lethal danger to everyone who’s been vaccinated!
Well, actually, I am not, and thanks to the CDC now I can prove it.
“Vaccine
efficacy and vaccine effectiveness measure the proportionate reduction
in cases among vaccinated persons. Vaccine efficacy is used when a study
is carried out under ideal conditions, for example, during a clinical
trial. Vaccine effectiveness
is used when a study is carried out under typical field (that is, less
than perfectly controlled) conditions.” according to the CDC.
With our warped medical leaders, politicians, pharma-profiteers and
big media now feeding us “Delta Variant” swill as if we were caged
pigs, a few things may be of use to better frame our perspectives and
understandings on this, —the latest CDC etc. Narrative
Operation.
Israel is now reporting Vaccine Effectiveness for covid shots at 39%-40%.
Alroy-Preis stated fully half, or 50% of the current infections in Israel are among those fully vaccinated.
And she told Haaretz: “we see a drop in the vaccine effectiveness
against disease for those who have been vaccinated early on, and we see
it for both elderly people over the age of 60 but also for the younger.”
This means that the claimed ~40% VE is in fact going down as she speaks.
What will the actual VE end up being?
During a March 2021 interview with France 24, Alroy-Preis said 80
percent in that country eligible were already vaccinated against
Covid-19 — claiming: “You can get to a point in this pandemic where you
open sectors and the disease goes down.”
Her March claims, along with her credibility have gone up in smoke
as the Zionist Entity begins more draconian lockdowns etc. in a matter
of days.
And we also have more fantasy, masquerading as science from New England Journal of Medicine, dateline July 21, 2021.
This NEJM work on behalf of big pharma — and not on our behalf at
all — has been recently used to create the illusion that covax VE can
do what has never been, regarding influenza vax’.
“With the BNT162b2 vaccine, the effectiveness of two doses was
93.7%” NEJM says, and also states: “88.0% (95% CI, 85.3 to 90.1) among
those with the delta variant.”
This is hyped at top of this paper, in third paragraph under results.
Fourth paragraph: “This finding would support efforts to maximize
vaccine uptake with two doses among vulnerable populations. (Funded by
Public Health England.)”
Way down,
27th paragraph: “The numbers of cases and follow-up periods are
currently insufficient for the estimation of vaccine effectiveness
against severe disease, including hospitalization and death.”
“Vaccine efficacy/effectiveness (VE) is measured by calculating the
risk of disease among vaccinated and unvaccinated persons and
determining the percentage reduction in risk of disease among vaccinated
persons relative to unvaccinated persons.”
VE includes measuring against disease — whether mild, moderate, severe, and deadly.
And this, published in NEJM!?!
Be that as it may, prior to March 2020, it was widely accepted:
that 40% VE was “OK” for the CDC — even as they for decades claimed they
wanted at least 90%.
When the drug pushers claimed with zero evidence in November, in
concordance with the Emergency Use Authorizations for Moderna and
Pfizer, they were claiming the impossible, at least, what has always
been impossible: any VE better than 50% for influenza
vaccination’.
It was ON PURPOSE the medical charlatans and vaccine fanatics in
charge of this criminal operation pretended not to know the obvious
about VE.
These false expectations of 90% and higher for covid shots — the
“experts” all knew all along this was myth, a fairy tale — their science
fiction posing as scientific knowledge. . . and the false expectations
they created obviously totally inappropriate:
and now they are stuck in their own contradictions. [But they got their
EUA, and got to pillage the lands far and wide with their experimental
poison, now appearing to be creating potential catastrophe. As we will
see below, this is exactly what the CDC is
now saying; however, they are not stating this obviousness in a rational
and coherent manner. Rather, in a way that in effect blames us for it.
But what else is new?]
The gaslighting continues.
This CDC graph shows last 11 years of VE: 43% average VE, for influenza.
And depending on the type of flu — it was completely worthless
during 2018/2019 flu season for those aged 9 – 49 years old: EV = 3%,
for H3N2, that season.
The 40% VE rate [and dropping] that Israel is now reporting would
have been considered normal — unacceptable, yes; normal, also yes.
Googling “Vaccine Effectiveness” and covid VE, you won’t find
anything, in US, on this essential matter — though our dear CDC Director
Rochelle Walensky is ‘weighing in’:
“The largest concern that I think we in public health and sciences
are worried about is that virus and potential mutations. . . the
potential to evade our vaccine in terms of how it protects us from
severe disease and death,” Walensky said last week.
“Right now, fortunately, we are not there. These vaccines operate
really well in protecting us from severe disease and death,” she said. “But the big concern is the next area that might emerge, just a few
mutations potentially away, could potentially evade our vaccines,” the
CDC director said.
In other words: VE = 0 . . . . Zero vaccine effectiveness.
This is
the kernel of the on-purpose-created mass confusion, of which Walensky
is directly complicit.
Vaccines unable to prevent disease spread are worthless.
As Dr. Meryl Nass, MD, put it: “This is called community spread,
and when you cannot identify where the virus was picked up, and you
refuse to treat contacts with effective post-exposure drugs, then Track
and Trace is simply an expensive, bad joke.”
And worse, the CDC director is trying to pretend she and her agency don’t know where the spread is originating!
“In an unvaccinated person, the virus does not encounter the same
evolutionary pressure to mutate into something stronger. So, if
SARS-CoV-2 does end up mutating into more lethal strains, then mass
vaccination is the most likely driver,” he said.
To sum up, what the science fiction likes of Walensky et al. are
trying to obscure is that the overall VE for covid shots may end up
being as bad as the 2018/2019 influenza season.
Overall VE is how the CDC has always reported VE; and they would
also break that down to subset by the different influenza strains and
clades as need be.
“Delta” is part of the “novel” corona subset. We’ll see what the data says — someday.
